Dejavu!

A very good flick that creates intense drama from a flood of innuendo. Any kid who attended parochial school in the '60's will recognize these characters! But, the ending is a bit of a discord -- of course she'd be confident in her decision. Doubtful Nuns? May be now but not then!
See this film -- Meryl Streep is fabulous and so are her co-stars! It will leave you thinking. Or, get you thinking.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

No Plot but Cute Dogs!

Cute kids! Cute Dogs! Very thin plot line. A real slam at foster parents! And, how do you explain to your kid that closed hotels don't have utilities, especially power and water? In an operating fountain no less! And, what about breaking and entering? Plus, if these kids weren't in school or camp all summer, presumably the foster parents should have noticed they were missing. Sigh.
Anyway, the kids liked it but the adults found it a stretch. Not unpleasant, just implausible.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Proceed with Caution

Has potential but the pole-dancing scene is completely unnecessary and inappropriate for the younger set that's drawn to this by the fairy-tale aspects of the story. Still, an interesting message about true love being accepting vs controlling. Too bad they didn't edit out the striptease and hang the turning point on some other "misbehavior."
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Exactly What it Promises!

This is a fun family movie that is exactly what it promises in the trailers. My 11 year old loved it and I thought it was laugh out-loud funny at times. It even had a plot -- more than I can say for another "woofer" we saw this holiday weekend. For anyone who ever worked in a mall it captures the "ambiance" perfectly! And, fthe Mall Cop swagger, too! See it, it's fun!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
